iheard

iheard has been created to dispel the many stories, rumours and fanciful claims about cancer.
Ask any cancer-related question and your query will be reviewed by our experts.
Our aim is to give you accurate, evidence-based answers to your cancer questions. You can be confident the information we provide is backed by Cancer Council Australia, the nation's peak, independent cancer control organisation.
The iheard experts have reviewed over 100 cancer-related claims. Some of the most frequently asked questions include:
- Can laser hair removal cause cancer?
- Is it true that if you rest your laptop on your lap, you could get cancer?
- Can canned food such as tuna and sardines cause cancer?
We also have promotional materials available for download to anyone looking to promote the iheard website.
